BESSEMER, AL Saturday, February 25, 2023 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.This is not good bye, it's simply see you later.
And I promise to try and continue your charity work with the game preserve here in Alabama. You were do excited to sponsor your big cat Delilah.
Today you ride with angels....we love you!
Sharon, Keith, Christina, Michaela, and your Alabama family!
